Deducing the Favourite NO track of all time - part 8 - Technique :)

Only a couple of rounds left now ...

Vanishing Point, its the first one our kid asked me to put on by the Order, He'd never shown much interest before. I just like it more than the others ,on most days. The John Denver cover is pretty good though

This was always going to be the tricky one - Dream Attack or Vanishing Point - I've never been able to settle on one of those two. But all those bootlegs from 1989 which have been circulating recently have reminded me that Dream Attack really was one of the highlights of those shows, so it gets my vote today.

Listen to me, I know what I'm saying.....

Mr. Disco

Yeah, I don't get tired of hearing "Mr. Disco". Good synths and a bounty of eerie lyrics. Vintage.

Guilty Partner and Dream attack was great,but the whole album was great

My life ain't no holiday..............

Always liked Round and Round...and now I'm round and round (little on the hefty side) so I picked that one

Vanishing Point all the way. Dream Attack and Run are close, as is Round and Round to a lesser degree. The rest of the album is crap though!

Went for Mr Disco. Despite having one of the stupidest titles of all time.

Dream attack, vanishing point, R&R, and Mr. Disco? So I voted for Fine Time

This is too hard!! Oh well, gonna hafta go with the Dream Attack...I don't like choosing like this Slippy...I'm feeling guilty. I'm gonna go feed my fish.

Originally posted by Drunken Monkey wow...this one was tough...ended up siding with Mr. Disco today...

Enjoyed it live, but the LP version just has too much fat round the midsection...oh well, I think it is just to "Plodding" for some reason. But to each his/her own!!

My vote goes to Dream Attack. It's a perfect song.

Vanishing Point

very hard this one, went with Dream Attack although Vanishing Point, Guilty Partner (and actually all apart from Fine Time) are favourites too

Originally posted by almanso VP. is one of the songs that had more impact on me in my entire life. the first time i heard it i was paralized by such beauty. it was too much for my ears and a small tear started to roll down my face.

Oi! That's heavy! Thanks for sharing.

i vascillate between round & round and vanishing point, but in the end r&r wins by a hair.

Vanishing Point is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever writen. In lyrics department as well. Love, hope and a sleeping demon.

The best album of all. Vanishing Point without a doubt.

This one is bloody hard.

I will have to nominate ALL NINE TRACKS.

So there.

:)

I think it's the live versions the I've been listening to lately that influenced my choice...guess I should've popped in the studio version before I voted!!!

I buy that.

I won't be popular for saying this but Technique is one of my least favourite NO albums - however, I will vote for Dream Attack.

Is it just me who likes the name Mr Disco? I recall picking this up from WH Smiths in Church Street. How mad is that BTW? (you could still buy vinyl there as recently as that) OK actually thinking about it, it wasn't that recently. Anyway, knowing the direction Fine Time had taken them in, it looked like the track I most wanted to hear from the name alone. I think it looks great written down.

One of their best titles, of this he was convinced. Track ain't bad either !

Best album I've ever heard... I voted for Dream Attack.

I wish Run2 12" mix was on the standard album though...

"...but love don't come easy". DEFO. But hey, they are all cracking tracks.

Dream Attack. :D

Fave of the album when it was released used to be Dream Attack, but I've found myself drawn to Round And Round for the last couple of years, so it's for the latter I voted.

you'll come back to Dream Attack....my theme song. i love this song. probably my favorite song ever. dream attack would be a nice addition to the live set. surely that one won't be too hard for Roger to sequence.

yeh Dream Attack (great pop song)... it has aged more gracefully than the rest on this album

I always start this album on track 6 and before that, side 2. Run, Mr Disco and Dream Attack are the only songs I like on this my least favorite of the Factory LPs (but I like those songs quite a bit). I voted for Run, but it could easlily have been either Mr Disco or Dream attack.

Vanishing Point.

Loveless is my favourite - that's a great song! :)

dream attack and vanishing point

Ah, Technique. My favourite NO album (in fact my second favourite album ever after Unknown Pleasures).

Side 2 is the best side of any album ever, too. Anyway, I'm voting Dream Attack which will come as no surprise to those of you who ridiculed a certain poll I may or may not have been involved in a little while back.

And I see it's winning, which is nice.

I like Fine Time, damn it!
